Sure, not a nice term at all, but if you were to substitute the word white for any other race/color such as “black trash”, “yellow trash”, etc. it would sound wayy more offensive and I would imagine be led with some public backlash! Yet I see the term “white trash” thrown around in some casual conversations, tv shows, and pop culture with not much afterthought.

It will get your post removed from FB as “hate speech”, so there is that. That said, in 2016, my family did a “white trash” birthday party for my mom’s 60th birthday celebration. It was a very tongue on cheek way of celebrating our very specific heritage and how far we all have come. It was an excuse to throw down with a bon fire, bbq, liquor drinks, big hair, blue eyeshadow and so on. I kinda feel like anyone offended by the term has never lived the life.
